Clinton: Americans don't jail our political opponents
Reuters via Jerusalem Post ^ | 10/23/2016

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton campaigned with her running mate, Senator Tim Kaine, in Pittsburgh on Saturday (October 22), the first time the two have campaigned together in weeks.

Clinton took aim at Trump's threat to put her in jail if he's elected saying, "We don't do that in America. We actually have laws, and courts and an independent judiciary."

... says the top representative of the party that is known for conducting witch hunts and persecuting people for no other “crime” than running and/or being elected as Republicans. Jailing people for being political opponents is an art form to Democrats.

OK, so the next time a rapist serial killer shows up and takes the defense that he’s running for office ... he’s free? We don’t jail our political opponents because none of them have been corrupt enough to do so ... now that has changed.

Sounds like she’s trying to convince somebody. Her supporters or herself? Trump certainly got her attention.

But what she should have said is “We don’t jail our political opponents. President Obama will pardon us, er, I mean, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.”

Kaine - “Keep talking.”

The reason she's NOT in jail is corruption ... it's not some unspoken rule based on Ford pardoning Nixon.

It's because Democrat sh*ts are corrupt... and the press is corrupt and honest people are afraid of the power of the human filth in DC - afraid to hold them to the same standards the rest of us are held to...

Enough people in Washington DC are 'on the take' IN BOTH PARTIES that honest people are afraid... they cower... grovel when they should be screaming...

BUT IT WILL CHANGE - Comey will be marginalized... the DOJ will find ways around the criminals running the place. We're still Americans. We can fight back - it's in our blood. We have too much to lose to let common criminal filth destroy our country.

Funniest line of the campaign coming from Hillary. Got suckered into making that statement, didn't you?
